Blue Cheese

These cheeses range between hard and soft, mild and strong, but always have distinct blue or green veins running through them. The veins are a type of penicillin and are usually introduced by hand into the interior of the cheese with the use of a metal spike.

Cheese is first thought to have been made in Sumeria in 5,000 BC, probably as an accidental result of the enzyme rennet which is found in a calf's stomach curdling the milk which a shepherd was carrying in a leather bottle.
